In an effort to minimise the stigma and to protect the rights of mental health service users, the Gauteng Department of Health will tomorrow officially open the Lufuno Neuropsychiatry Centre in Tara Hospital, Sandton.

Neuropsychiatry is an interface between neurology and psychiatry and addresses the cognitive, emotional and behavioral symptoms that result from brain disorders.
